The Laborers Health & Wellness clinics are here to get you ready for flu season with all the facts – and appointments for immunizations.
As crisp fall weather rolls in, there’s another change in the air – the flu. Flu-related misinformation spreads quickly, just like the flu does. So, if you’re wondering, “Should I get the flu shot,” take a look at myths vs. facts.
In fact, flu vaccines consist of dead (or inactive) strains of influenza viruses that trigger an immune response, not illness. This immune response is a sign the vaccine is working.
In fact, the flu shot is only effective for one season. The vaccine formula is updated every year to provide the best protection.
In fact, while peak respiratory season is between December and February, you can get sick much earlier. Strive to get your flu shot by the end of October since it takes two weeks after your shot to build up full immunity.
In fact, a flu-free history doesn’t guarantee a flu-free future. Flu strains evolve and change over time, which means you’re at risk every year you avoid getting vaccinated.
In fact, the flu vaccine significantly reduces your risk of catching the flu. It also reduces your risk of severe illness and hospitalization. The CDC reports getting vaccinated reduces the chance of catching the flu by up to 60%.
The Laborers Health & Wellness clinics can help with all your health and immunization needs; schedule your flu shot today at https://www.healthpartners.com/laborersschedule or call 952-687-8100.
The Laborers Health & Wellness clinics are here for all your preventive care needs, including HPV and Pap tests.
If you’re a woman approaching a milestone birthday – turning age 21 or age 30 – you’ve likely heard that you’re due for new health screenings. Here’s what you and your loved ones need to know about HPV and cervical cytology (known as a Pap test).
Routine cervical cancer screenings are recommended between the ages of 21 and 65. However, your doctor may recommend different timing based on your health and past screening results.
If you’re between 21 and 29 years old, it’s generally recommended that you get cervical cytology every three years. It’s important to find cervical cancer early, in its most treatable, precancerous stage.
If you’re between the ages of 30 and 65, there are different testing options. Your doctor may recommend you also get an HPV test. The combination of cervical cytology and HPV testing is called co-testing.
Getting the HPV vaccine is the best way to prevent cervical cancer. Most cervical cancer is the result of a persistent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) – a common virus that can spread during sexual contact with someone who has it. Most sexually active people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their lives.

Summer goes fast in Minnesota; you have to make the most of it. Having fun in the sun is great for quality time with family, your mental health and getting some much-needed vitamin D. But the sun’s strong ultraviolet rays can be harmful without the right protection.
Choose a sunscreen that:
Since certain sunscreens can cause dryness, itchiness and breakouts, it’s important to choose one that is gentle enough for even the most reactive skin. Chemical sunscreens may clog pores, so mineral or oil-free sunscreens with hypoallergenic ingredients can be a good option for those with acne, sensitive skin or rosacea.
If you’re going to be in the water – including one of our 10,000 lakes – look for a sunscreen that has “water-resistant” on the label. These sunscreens have to pass a regulated SPF test. Water-resistant sunscreens can be effective for 40-80 minutes when applied as directed, so check the label and reapply as necessary.

Watery eyes, congestion and an itchy throat are all possible symptoms of an environmental allergy. This incredibly common condition affects millions of Americans. It’s possible to develop allergies later in life – even if you never had them as a child.
Allergens that are present or at higher levels at certain times of the year are referred to as seasonal allergies. Common triggers for outdoor seasonal allergies include tree and grass pollen, ragweed pollen and mold spores. As they grow, plants and mold release pollen and spores into the air. When you breathe in pollen and spores, it can cause inflammation, irritation and other symptoms.
For some, symptoms may be just a case of the sneezes a couple times a year. But for others, seasonal allergies can cause congestion; a runny, itchy nose; watery eyes, headaches and more for weeks or months at a time. Spring allergy season can start as early as March.
Year-round allergies to dust mites, pets and mold can also develop in adulthood. Dust mites like bedding, carpet, stuffed animals and furniture. So if you have a dust mite allergy, it’s possible to have allergy issues throughout the year.
Talk to your Laborers Health & Wellness care team about all your allergy-related health and well-being needs. We can discuss testing and treatment options to find a solution that works best for you.
